LEGAL NEWS.
Court met Monday afternoon at one o clock
with Judge Hazen On The bench. The court
room was crowded with people anxious 10
hear the result of the judges deliberations on
the license question, aud he promptly salts
fed their curiosity by opening the license
docket and reading his entries granting Ii
ceps.s to sixteen of the applicants, holding
one over and refusing the others. Those
granted were all tavern licenses, aud were to
Campbell, Sellers, Reiching, Lowry and
Eitenmuller OF Butler, Miller and Stokey of
Evans City, Beam of Harmony, Forquer and
Harding of Millerstown, Stewart of Rem
f.ew, Weitzel, Mulholiand and Laube of Sax
onburg, and Stokey and Stroheeker of Zelie-
nople The license of Gamble, merchant,
was granted later in the day.
After reading his decisions Judge Hazen
made a little speech to the successful appli-
cants, hoping they would prove themselves
worthy of the great privilege accorded them,
that he had administered the law as he un-
derstood it. that the licensed houses must
have meals at all hours for travellers, that
travellers entered their houses as matter OF
right, that the licensed houses must not keep
their bars open too late at night and must
not sell to minors or men of Incorporate hsb-
its. on Sunday or Election day, that they
would be expected to aid the officers of the
law in stopping the illegal sale of liqpor and
place themselves on the side of law An1 or
der, and that any failure on their part to do
so would tell against them hereafter.
The crowd then dispersed, some happy,
some otherwise, and regular court assembled
with both Judges Hazen and McMichael on
the bench, the jury list was read over, two
cases were called, Judge McAlichael and his
court retiring 10 the arbitration room, and up
to THURSDAY Noon the following cases have
been disposed of.
